I'll upload the mods I have for it too in a sec

Edit: Up now
[EVO 4G General] chris17house:
Thanks very much for all of that.

Did you ever have problems with the wifi not connecting and the bluetooth being troublesome in updated releases?
[EVO 4G General] DirtyShroomz:
I haven't updated because of those issues but I am having horrible issues with GPS, can never lock on. Tried ton's of different kernels, still no fix.
[EVO 4G General] mlin:
Man are you serious? I posted a response in the MIUI thread. All archived builds since at least December are there in the same official release thread. All you have to do is scroll down to the 3rd, 4th, 5th, etc post and there are many, many builds still there, plus mods.

Edit: taken directly from the thread I referred to for build 1.2.11

Yes, the ROM is there too, I figured you didn't need that anymore however.

Just flashed an energy rom.But getting no wifi working. Can anyone help?

The older energy rom i flashed allows wifi with the earlier radio, but no bluetooth, seems the revers has happened now.Want to know why who ever fmakes the roms cannot enable all the features including wifi and bluetooth? Does anyone have a registry tweak or something like a driver to get these working again?

Help would be appreciated.

One last thing.

No the problem is not the hardware being faulty.

[Nook Color General] grrcracker:
so i did some digging and cannot seem to find if the 3.5mm has the ability to do video out. the backseat babysitter has a broken dvd player, an incident with some random loose coins, but still works through the composite jacks. i would be nice to slap some videos on there and keep the critters entertained, vacation season is coming up soon.
[Nook Color General] liqn7:
That's cos it doesn't ;)
[Nook Color General] grrcracker:
thanks it was worth a shot.
[Nook Color General] GorillaPimp:
you could get an iPad seatback holder and use a 3.5mm to composite/3.5/bt/or whatever cable and play movies like that. Most backseat babysitters don't have screens much bigger than the NC.
[Nook Color General] conlinlord:
what is the 3.5mm? please give help!
[Nook Color General] hpark21:
The headphone jack.

For example, IPod Video has composite out from headphone jack where you can output video signal through that.

My suggestion would be to buy a old Ipod Video 5G and push video through its headphone jack? (maybe get one with bad LCD? 30GB version may be pretty cheap).

I don't think Nook Color does video output through 3.5mm.
[Nook Color General] speedfreak007:
isn't it possible to make an app which captures the screen, encodes it to a composite video signal en send that like an audio signal to the 3.5 mm jack?
[Nook Color General] Blue6IX:
That would be nice, but unfortunately is not possible.

The hardware needs to support this function.

My phone, the myTouch 4G Slide, has video out capability through the headphones jack, using a 4 pole 3.5mm connection. (ipod/zune video cable)

If what you are asking was possible, every device capable of playing media with a headphones jack would be capable of video.

Unless I missed something in the teardown...but we'd have heard something about this before now if it was possible with all the development around this device.

You're welcome to try to write an app that would do this, I posted the tv-out apk for my phone in my phone's subforum here at xda for another member that lost theirs for their phone. Would make a good place to start, but I think you'll realize pretty quickly it's not going to work out.

Hey guys,

I'm running GSB 1.7 and lately I've been having issues with my battery running down really quickly, but more commonly the problem seems to be that high level processes are being killed. Specifically, Lookout Mobile and System Panel suddenly end and when I attempt to restart them, they will come back for a short time, but then are killed again. Also, text message notifications stop working (the text still shows up, just no sound, icon, or popup using Go sms). I have a couple logcats, but they don't mean anything to me. Can someone help me decode this?

Are you using any kind of task killer, or autokiller? Task killers have been known to hinder performance. From personal experience, autokiller was a HUGE drain on my battery and on my performance. Although others use it religiously I uninstalled it and my phone has been running great.

If you don't run a task/autokiller, then your best bet would be to wipe and reflash the ROM.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] metlcat:
I do not use a task killer and have stopped using autokiller for a little while since gingerbread seems not to need it. The killing of the high level tasks isn't something that I'm doing, or at least not intentionally doing. I guess I'll wipe everything and reflash.

Notion Ink Adam vs. Motorola Xoom - HD Video Playback

[YOUTUBE]lXWu6m33EP0[/YOUTUBE]
[Xoom General] muyoso:
Thanks a lot for doing this. To those wondering the Planet earth clip in question is from the first episodes introduction and is usually referred to as the "killa sample" when in 1080p because of the insane bitrate spike when the birds start flying. The idea is, if your device can play this it can play anything. The sample I sent to inspiron41 was in 720p.

As you can see, VERY high quality for a 720p clip. The bitrate actually spikes from around 4000Kb/s to a high of around 22000Kb/s during the bird scene.

Thank you both for doing this, it goes a long way to assuage my fears of buying the Xoom and it not being able to handle anything I can throw at it.

I have little patience with converting media.

Ins and outs of video on the Xoom

@muyoso

The so-call "killa sampla" clip is commonly known as a BADLY encoded clip because the bitrate being used was outrageous. Yes, the "flock flying" sequence takes more bits and will cause a spike, but it's not a particularly demanding scene. There are scenes in the Planet Earth series that have much higher bit spikes. Note that the bitrate for the clip (6.4Mb/s) is only slightly higher than the avg bitrate assigned to the whole movie (5.6Mb/s).

Your 720p clip is badly coded as well. For one, there is no need to use L5.1 for the 720p res, especially when the targetted playback platform is a mobile device. For 720p, you should've used L3.1, and keep the x264 default of ref=3 rather than jacking it to ref=6 (or 9, if the level param takes precedence). For more info about x264's level parameter,

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/H.264/MPEG-4_AVC#Levels

What was proven in your clip is that the Xoom (and Adam) can't play badly encoded MKVs, or MKV videos that were intended for the PC platform, which isn't surprising. Personally, I think it's a bit naive and unrealistic to expect PC-level video-decoding performance from this generation of tablets. Given that this is a tech forum, my suggestion for all concerned is to TECH UP and find a good conversion routine for your downloaded vids. Either that, or wait until next year for the quad-cores to show up.

I've written a Windows script package to optimize video for mobile devices, which can handle most common formats (excluding WMV). It uses x264 for the encoding and is very fast. It can also recode multichannel audio (AC3/FLAC/DTS/PCM) to either stereo MP3 or AAC, and takes only minutes to do. It's noob friendly; drag the video(s) on top of the script and drop it, and that's it.

Right now, it uses the MKV container. I'm hoping that CorePlayer for Android will show up soon, which'll provide MKV support & NEON-accel for H.264. If that doesn't happen, I'll rewrite the script to use MP4 container. MP4 has more constraints than MKV (only AAC audio, no bitmap subtitles), and I prefer to stick to MKV.

Drop your PE clip onto the script and let it recode. My bet is that this will fare much better on the mentioned tablets.

The script package is posted here,

[Xoom General] Dr.Preston:
So, wait, the Notion Ink Adam cannot play high profile 720p video?

We need a definitive answer here.

Some people are saying that the Adam couldn't play high profile 720p video but it could after a software update.

That planet earth sample is terrible for actually testing video playback. It was encoded using unrealistic settings. 9 reference frames? I can't imagine a situation where you would need that many.

We need a sample, encoded in 720p h.264, using 3 reference frames, 3 b-frames, weighted p-frames and adaptive b-frames.
[Xoom General] e.mote:
>So, wait, the Notion Ink Adam cannot play high profile 720p video?

Let's find out.

The 720p clips below are from the first 1:52 from Planet Earth 01 From Pole to Pole (same as muyoso's), encoded in one-pass CRF mode using x264cli w/ params: --crf 21 --level 3.1 --tune film --preset medium (using the aforementioned script). Bog standard, nothing weird. Avg bitrate is at 5.4Mb/s.

The first clip uses MKV container. It should play in hardware (accelerated) mode using Rockplayer Universal or similar, or software mode otherwise. The second clip is the same as the first, but remuxed to MP4. It should play w/ default Android player. Let me know if Xoom/Adam owners can play either, and how well.

(Sorry, I can't yet post links. Would appreciate if someone with a higher post count repost the links below.)

Until the players are optimized for tegra, or a new app comes out

on my atrix (tegra2) a 1080p video plays just fine stock, but using qqplayer or rockplayer it stutters, so we will be saved soon i am sure

the video that i refer too is linked below

full 1080p, 10mbps ! (BASELINE PROFILE)

http://hotfile.com/dl/108279465/e51a41a/goal2.mp4.html
[Xoom General] SS2006:
maybe you can answer me, im curious

can the xoom play 720p or 1080p high profile (or anything thats not baseline)

I know it cant, but is the reason that the tegra cant handle it, or is it a software issue (that can be resolved with apps/codecs)
[Xoom General] keitht:
That seems to still be the big question.
[Xoom General] JanetPanic:
Since the tegra can handle b frames cabac is the primary element in main profile that it can not handle. I would be interested to do a comparison of the same clip with cabac off.
[Xoom General] galtom:
My main concern at the moment (in regard of video playback) is:

1. There is already a lot of post about it here and I have not this issue being officially addressed by any of the three companies.

2. By the time issue is resolved new Xoom might be much cheaper.

3. What if issue is not resolved? How much will Xoom loose in value?

4. If any of coming Tegra 2 based tablets will hold additional chip + own player... who (from general public) will want to buy xoom (and for how much).

For me $800 is quite a lot and I have to take under consideration simple depreciation... I will want to get a newer tablet (maybe next year) so issue of getting money back is important.

Yes, I was hoping for PC like performance (especially that this is exactly how Xoom is being presented since few weeks/months)

No, I do not had/have/will have an iPad.

No, I do not have time (nor knowledge) to play with video format - all I want is to go to XYlinks.org page, make my download and watch the same way on tablet as I do now on my desktop or netbook (preferably form NAS drive). And most of the 720p stuff available to download is mkv high profile (for PC).

Video playback is very BIG issue. I have no doubt that all the rest will be sorted with updates as they are issues of software - video... I do not think so.

It is not me who started to compare xoom and honeycomb to PC experience but companies behind this product themselves.
[Xoom General] e.mote:
@JanetPanic

Have you tried the clips I posted? Do they not work, and if not, what was the error encountered?

@galtom

You should only be concerned if you've bought a Xoom. And if you've bought one--on release day, at full MSRP--then why the heck do you worry about resale value? You already know that you'll be lucky to get half of what you paid when you resell it.

Lastly, if you don't care about technical aspects of HD videos, or finding a tech solution, why are you posting in this thread? This isn't a rant thread for Xoom owners having buyer's remorse.

@Digital Man

Spoken like a true technophobe. Unlike your binary view of the world, not everybody is a hater or a fanboy. XDA is a technical forum, and one would expect for people to look for tech solutions to tech problems.

Yes, the Xoom is deficient on video playback. My opinion is that it's mostly a software (read: fixable) issue, which will be remedied when better media players come online. One I've mentioned is Coreplayer for Android, which will have comprehensive format support (aside from AC3) and hardware accelerated support for Tegra2. We all know that there is little tab-specific Android software available right now. That will come.

Despite what the official Moto line is, I'm fairly confident the Tegra2 can do 720p high profile, as long as the encode uses default parameters. Some so-called scene rips don't. If you want to watch these, you'll need to re-encode. That's just the way it is, until the quad-cores get to market.

As for 1080p HP videos, there are other constraints that make them impractical for watching on tablets other than chip capability. A typical 1080p rip averages around 10GB, and takes around 30+ minutes to transfer to flash. So unless you like to watch the same video over and over, swapping 1080p vids in and out of int storage sounds pretty unappealing to me. Ditto for the SD slot, assuming once it's working. Over wifi? You've got to be kidding.

The reality is that 720p is the most feasible resolution for tablets, considering their storage constraints, and the constraints of wifi (yes, you can stream 720p as-is over a good wifi connection).
[Xoom General] setite:
Correct me if I'm wrong, but Tegra 2 on which these tablets are based doesn't do NEON.
